I got a problem. AAAAH I need doors! Crying or Very sad

sad But passages won't work when I make them! Crying or Very sad

sad And another! I need there a boss! So, can someone help with these problems? I think it's my computer that makes the passages not to work, because they work in other modules, but not in my modules. I don't know.

Golden Temple? Sounds like the Cobol emperor palace mentioned earlier. Then you could have the evil cobol emperor as the boss. A number of rooms could have carpets showing which type of cobols reside there (red - fire, white - ice, brown - sand, etc.)

And passages: Try first to make a passage so it looks good in EgoMap. You will need to place a door there too. See one of my maps for example.
Next you will need a second passage, to detect if a player comes close to the closed passage (so that it knows when to open).

See passage.txt from one of my modules for example. The closed door passage itself comes first. The detection passage always comes after said door passage.

So there is two passages needed? But what about locked doors? Do they need two, too?

I think I know why your passages won't work:

When you start Egomap and load a module, you see the Northwest corner, upside down.
You're supposed to turn it around so the north is in front of you when checking coordinates, and if you didn't, the coordinates you would get have no bounds and end up touching themselves, and passing through each other, making the passages useless.

(I never bothered to check your passages, if this is your problem, I'm glad I could help, if not, just ignore this.)

Well, maybe you could go over and register at the new forum.
And you made a cobol emperor?
Maybe you could post that at the new forum, and see if they like it.
